Group communication is a programming abstraction that allows a distributed group of processes to provide a reliable service in spite of the possibility of failures within the group. The goal of the project was to improve the state of the art of group commu ...
Recently, some research effort has been instigated towards micro and nano patterning of curved surfaces, as system miniaturization by means of patterned planar surfaces has practically reached its limits. In contrast to the more practical approach of exist ...
The goal of this semester project is to create a thermal model of a electronic circuit board that will be used to control a Brushless DC motor for the project “Solar Impulse”. For this project, the finite element (FEM) software Ansys is used to build the m ...
In spite of its revolutionary approach to design and construction, the industrial legacy of the Sydney Opera House has never been the subject of systematic analysis. Whilst celebrating the genius of his conceiver Jørn Utzon, the literature remains aloof ab ...

The use of reclaimed asphalt pavement (RA) in new asphalt pavements can provide important economical savings, while reducing the negative environmental impact. The European research project PARAMIX aims to improve the techniques for hot mix recycling in pl ...
Ag cubes of uniform size (70nm) and self-assembled into two dimensional arrays are formed by physical vapor deposition. The formation of the Ag cubes depends critically on the substrate composition. While heat dissipation can control the crystallization of ...

This article is the preamble to a set of articles describing initial results from an on-going European Commission funded, 5th Framework project called OMNIITOX, Operational Models aNd Information tools for Industrial applications of eco/TOXicological impac ...
Distributed Video Coding is becoming more and more popular among the research community, because of its interesting theoretical contributions and because there are still many open problems waiting to be solved. This paper introduces the codec architecture ...
Recently, participation emerged as an appropriate tool to enhance natural resource management. Despite official recognition, there is no consensus on the practical meaning of participation. In this work, we consider the participation as a process through w ...
For the refurbishment projects, one of the most important problems is to evaluate the economical efficiency of the project. It is difficult to estimate, with good accuracy, the hydraulic efficiency in situ for existing configurations and even more difficul ...
